Today is the
last day
of current pricing on all of my programs.
Look around for a minute. Groceries, rent, gas, insurance, software, supplies. Every single one went up this year.
Big companies raise their prices and don't apologize. Small businesses do the opposite. We see people struggling, so we lower our prices to help. It comes from a good place. But our costs keep rising, our income shrinks, and the business that was trying to help is the one that can't survive.
When everything around you goes up, your prices have to go up too. That's not greed. That's staying open.
Every time you shop small, you're keeping someone's doors open. Every time a small business undercharges, they're quietly closing them.
So after 27 years in business, I'm taking my own advice.
Effective
November 1
Prices change on every program. They won't be coming back down, so today is your chance to get in at the current rate.
Finally back, fully rebuilt
Finally… I rebuilt Belly Baby Models!
This program first launched years ago. I paid a programmer and we just couldn't make it work, so I rebuilt the whole thing myself.
If your name is on the list, you're already in.
You paid years ago, so your lifetime membership is active. Go to bellybabymodel.com, choose Member sign in, and tap “I paid before” to get a sign-in link by email.
Not on the list?
Lifetime membership is $99 as part of today's sale.
A note on pricing: this program was built long before our Platinum membership, so it isn't included in Platinum or All Access. After the sale the price will go up. Platinum and All Access members will get a discount, but I can't include it in the membership because it was created well before it.
What is it, and why did I build it?
I wanted something like Model Mayhem, but made for newborn and maternity photographers. The technology was too hard to build back then, so we paused it. Now it's finished.
How it works
- Models join free and add a photo. Their details stay private. They are never posted, and photographers never see a model's contact information.
- Members send a request with city, session type and dates, and see matches anonymously: first name, last initial, city, how far along the pregnancy or baby is, and availability.
- You pick a model, I make the introduction. I check availability and introduce you both by email. From there you set up the shoot and sign your model release together.
How we match them up: the system ranks models by location first, then session type, timing and availability. I review every request and make each introduction myself.
A few more things
- It's an international database.
- This is Time for Print. Models receive images in exchange for their time.
- Models say up front whether they're OK with photos being posted on social media, so you know before you ask.
- Lots of photographers don't want to post model calls publicly. Now you don't have to.
- Members get an embed code for their own site, so models can apply right there. I use it at anabrandt.com/model-calls, which means I no longer need JotForm.
